Which country accepted Armenian genocide first?

The recognition of the Armenian Genocide by governments around the world has been an important issue for the Armenian community and its supporters for many years.

The genocide was a deeply traumatic event in Armenian history, and the lack of recognition by the international community has been a source of ongoing frustration and pain for many Armenians.

The first country to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide was Uruguay in 1965 when its parliament passed a resolution condemning the genocide and expressing solidarity with the Armenian people.

This was a significant moment in the history of the Armenian Genocide, as it represented the first time that a government had formally recognized the events of 1915-1923 as a genocide.

Following Uruguay’s lead, several other countries began to recognize the Armenian Genocide in the decades that followed. Cyprus and Argentina were among the next countries to formally recognize the genocide, in 1965 and 1966, respectively.

However, it wasn’t until the late 20th and early 21st centuries that a significant number of countries recognized the genocide. Today, over 30 countries, including France, Germany, and Canada, have formally recognized the Armenian Genocide, although many others have yet to do so.
